Sämmer shelf / bookcase

Sämmer shelf / bookcase

By Amsterdam based product designer Martin Sämmer.

From the designer:

The design of this object allows to participate in the evolution of its shape. By using the Transformer-Shelf you will constantly rearrange the different units towards each other, creating myriad different shapes. This will have an influence on your impression of the object, the cognition of the surrounding room and the way you identify yourself with the Object. Everybody can put his own ideas into the Object. In the end, the design becomes a process that will be partly submitted to the CONSUMER, who will also partly become a shape-producer, and therefore a ‘Design-Prosumer’.

Villa 1 / Powerhouse Company

Villa 1 / Powerhouse Company

Architects: Powerhouse Company
Location: Netherlands

Villa 1 was the first villa commissioned to Powerhouse Company since its founding in May 2005.

The forest, like most of the Dutch landscape, is man made. Mostly Douglas Pines were planted there in the 1950s for the production of straight stems that could then be used as beams. The trees became mature enough to be harvested in the 1970s, paradoxically just when it became immoral to cut trees. The landscape thus turned from industrial to being natural. Now the site falls under the local “building-in-nature” regulations, which include a number of restrictions, among which height limitations for the gutter lines and volumetric restrictions for what could be build above ground. Since the spatial needs of the house called for at least twice the volume allowed by the regulations, we designed it upside-down: all day functions above ground and all bedrooms below, but with ample daylight access.

"RjDj enables music to react with the environment and turns the sounds we typically come across in a normal day into a rich orchestra of life,” continues Stefan Glaenzer, investor at RjDj. “It effectively builds a bridge between the real world and the electronic world of music – turning what has traditionally been passive sound into an engaging, interactive and highly creative experience."

Tate missed out on valuable Rothko works

"Given the current state of the art market, the recent news of London’s Tate Modern’s decision to reject a gift of 30 Rothko paintings 41 years ago sounds almost painful. An investigation into the Tate’s archives reveal that in 1967 Rothko offered the London museum the generous gift which is now speculated to be worth $1billion. The offer included works from the artist’s 1961 retrospective at the MoMA and his Seagram mural paintings from 1958."
